Alco bowl turning.









Just finished turning a bowl for my Alco pipe.
My O-Ring system works perfectly.
And can be used for any pipe with a screw on bowl.
The bowls screw on tight as normal and seal perfectly.
I almost exclusively smoke my Falcon pipe with bowls that i have turned and know it takes a lot of use before the o-ring wears out.
O-rings cost a few cents each and are easy to get.
The bowls start to colour after a few smokes and turn quite dark.
The only finish i use is pure carnauba wax and i don't use fillers.
Some blocks have imperfections in them but it just adds character and does not affect how they smoke.
If you would like me turn you a bowl contact me at.

  1. Beautiful craftsmanship there. That new bowl is puuuuurdy! The briar looks top-grade as well. Alexander of Greece would be interested to see what you're doing with is blocks, have you emailed him?
